I've been a passionate analog photographer since my training. My career took me from fashion and product photography to art. In my free time, I create images that reflect my passion for the craft.

Monochrome Heritage Nothing like the smell of fixer in the morning. Shot this on film and developed it myself in the sink. If the composition doesn't move you, at least appreciate that I didn't ruin the negatives 😅 #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm #darkroommagic #historic #austria
A black and white analog photograph of a heavy, dark metal church door standing wide open against a weathered stone wall. The masonry is made of large, textured blocks. To the left of the entrance, a pile of loose cobblestones sits on a paved ground with a fan-shaped pattern. A vertical drainage pipe runs down the right side of the wall. The film grain adds a raw, timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing the contrast between the dark doorway and the sunlit stone.

Having a Mamiya 330 in my hands for the first time. Those things are huge! 😅 Unfortunately, the film advance crank is stuck and won't move. I've tried a lot of things already, but to no avail. Does anyone have an idea before I open it up? #BelieveInFilm #filmphotography #Mamiya #Mamiyac330

Digging through the archives and found this one! Not my best shot, I'll admit, but it's from the first time I had a go with a 4x5 inch (SINAR P2) camera. Loved the process! This photo marks the start of a journey. #BelieveInFilm #photography #filmphotography #PhotographyJourney #4x5Camera

The last frames on the roll: A passerby, a fleeting moment, a spontaneous shot. Sometimes the unplanned shots are the most exciting. Olympus OM20 ADOX CHS 100 II #BelieveInFilm #photography #filmphotography #streetphotography #ADOX
This is a high-contrast, black-and-white photograph of a man standing under a light at night.

A round, white concrete pillar divides the image vertically, with the left half completely in a dark shadow. The man stands on the right side of the pillar, bathed in a strong light from above and to his right. He is wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and a cap, and faces the camera. A long, dark shadow of his body is cast on the ground in front of him. Behind him is a building with a corrugated metal wall, illuminated by the same light source.

Light filters in from the open sky above the awnings, creating areas of bright contrast with the deep shadows.

Light and Shadow As the light and shadow guide us in the photograph, so do moments of clarity and challenges guide us through life. D.R.P 120mm 4,5 Ilford HP5+ in ID11 (1+3) Ilford Multigrade V #BelieveInFilm #photography #ilfordhp5 #darkroomprint #filmphotography #bulbexposure
This black and white photograph captures a symmetrical passage, its vanishing point drawing the viewer's eye into the depths of the image. The tunnel is illuminated by a series of evenly spaced lights, creating a contrast between the illuminated sections and darkness that frames them. The geometric precision of the architecture, with its angular supports and rigid lines, is softened by the organic presence of foliage on either side, blurring the sharp boundaries of the constructed space.

"Silent Arches" A moment of stillness in a bustling world. Bulb exposure D.R.P 120mm 4,5 / compur + Plaubel film back. Ilford HP5+ in ID11 (1+3) Ilford Multigrade V #BelieveInFilm #photography #historic #ilfordhp5 #darkroomprint #filmphotography #medieval #architecture

At the end of the passageway, a window with a grid can be seen, allowing light to enter. The image is in black and white. The lighting is subdued, with a bright point of light in the center of the passageway, illuminating the arches and casting shadows.
